Sounding off: Writers lobby for picks as election nears
Honor with Harris, dishonor with Trump If your forebears emigrated from any country in Central Europe on NATO’s front line against Putin’s Russia, honor your forebears who came here for liberty, the good word of the U.S. and Ukraine’s fight for freedom by electing Kamala Harris president. Donald Trump says...
Letter to the editor: Casey’s fentanyl ad deceptive
In Sen. Bob Casey’s political ad against Dave McCormick, he focuses on McCormick’s investment in a Chinese company making fentanyl and smuggling it to Mexico to make illegal drugs and smuggle it back into the U.S. That company is Humanwell. Its income is between $3 billion and $4 billion per...
Letter to the editor: Why Trump is against immigrants
Why does Donald Trump say he will gather immigrants into camps and deport them? He must mean illegal immigrants, because 75% of U.S. immigrants are legal. But even those illegal immigrants still do the things that most immigrants do: They work, pay taxes and add to the strength of our...
Letter to the editor: Harris is too liberal
Kamala Harris is a fake, an attempt by the Democratic Party billionaires to create the image of her shedding her skin as a rampaging liberal with socialist ideology and no credentials for leading America. It’s as simple as asking yourself: Am I better or worse off than I was in...
Letter to the editor: There are other ‘choices’ rather than abortion
Hiding behind the terms “reproductive rights,” women’s “health care” or “choice” does not change the fact that abortion kills an unborn baby. Organizations such as Walking With Moms in Need (walkingwith moms.com) and PreBorn! (preborn.com) provide support for expectant mothers and their babies during pregnancy and for as long as two...
Letter to the editor: Honor with Harris, dishonor with Trump
If your forebears emigrated from any country in Central Europe on NATO’s front line against Putin’s Russia, honor your forebears who came here for liberty, the good word of the U.S. and Ukraine’s fight for freedom by electing Kamala Harris president. Donald Trump says Putin “can do whatever the hell...
Letter to the editor: Be proud to show support for Trump
Donald Trump has been much maligned by biased liberals and their willing allies, the judicial courts and left-leaning press. Meanwhile, President Biden and Vice President Harris seem to have been shielded from negative stories by the same groups. So Trump appears power-hungry and corrupt. That is not true. Many conservatives...
Letter to the editor: What happened to welcoming the stranger?
Whether to escape tyranny and persecution in their homeland or simply from a desire to attain the oft-mentioned American dream, immigrants have long seen America as their best hope for the future. Initially, many have received less than a gracious welcome, but never have I seen such outright hatred and...
Letter to the editor: Trump should apologize for Palmer remarks
I grew up in Latrobe and was fortunate enough to have attended high school with Jerry Palmer, Arnold Palmer’s brother. Although I did not know Arnie personally, I know my peers and I considered Arnie and his family a class act. Therefore, it was disgusting to see Donald Trump come...
Letter to the editor: Harris’ ‘lies’ not lies at all
Regarding the letter “Harris telling lies” (Oct. 14, TribLive): The one assertion of the writer I agree with is “Be a good voter and check out both candidates’ statements and track records.” About passing a national right to abortion law: If Congress passes it, Kamala Harris, if elected, will sign...
Letter to the editor: Don’t base vote on half-truths
Beware of the half-truth. You may have gotten hold of the wrong half. (Author unknown) As we approach one of the most crucial elections of a lifetime, anxieties seem to be kicking into high gear. We have been subjected to various opinions of what Christians are or are not; what...
Letter to the editor: UPMC needs to prioritize Western Psych, especially treatment for kids
Adolescent psychiatric care is my passion. In my career as a psychiatric nurse, I’ve seen young patients’ lives transformed when nurses have adequate resources to provide care. With the right treatment, kids grow up to find careers, lasting relationships, stability and purpose. But the amount of patients I have to...
Letter to the editor: Vote for democracy, freedom, fairness
We overcame slavery as the country slowly took action against what humanity knew to be wrong. We watched from across the Atlantic as the German people fell to fascism. We eventually joined the forces of good in the battle against evil tyranny and the persecution of those who believed differently....
Letter to the editor: Abortion is not a right
Abortion is a top election issue. Reproductive rights are not being challenged. Women have the right to access reproductive information, have sex/not have sex (except in the horrendous case of rape), use/not use birth control or fertility treatments, choose their childbirth experience and choose/not choose sterilization. Some people consider abortion...
Letter to the editor: How can anyone with a conscience vote for Trump?
I wonder if the writer of the letter “Harris telling lies” (Oct. 14, TribLive) does not watch the news. President Trump said he wants to be a dictator on Day 1. After the violence in Charlottesville, he said, “There are good people on both sides.” During his presidency, the Washington...
Letter to the editor: Trump and Harris, action and inaction
Actions speak louder than words. Inaction speaks, also. When elected president, Donald Trump took actions to implement campaign promises. He accomplished most. Democrats predict dangerous and evil actions if he is reelected. As president, he took no such actions and won’t this time, either. In contrast, Kamala Harris promises many...
Letter to the editor: Trump too dangerous to be in White House
On Dec. 4, 2022, Donald Trump posted this on Trump Social: “Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and...
Letter to the editor: Negative Moineau headline disappointing
The headline “Greensburg bishop calls Irwin pastor’s actions ‘an egregious’ failure” (Oct. 7, TribLive), rather than a positive announcement of the return of a pious and dedicated priest, became a personal flashpoint of disappointment and sadness. I feel that instead of using the highly negative headline, it could, no, should,...
Letter to the editor: Election confusion
I am fascinated by the variety of letters to the editor about the upcoming election and the predictions. We are being encouraged to vote, by radio, TV, mail and the skewed ads on the internet. The VA is wanting vets to work as volunteers for the election. The questions are,...
Letter to the editor: Harris, Walz failed their ‘interviews’
Kamala Harris, you failed your job interview (presidential debate). The answer for “Are you better off than four years ago?” is not that you were born middle class. (Your other answers weren’t that good either). You never answer the question. I think you sounded stupid with answers you gave considering...
Letter to the editor: Don’t make a hypocritical vote
I can believe both candidates are correct in saying the future of our country is at stake. The future of our country is our children and grandchildren, and they are watching who we are supporting. If your candidate’s messaging and lifestyle is in direct contradiction to how you raise your...
Letter to the editor: Trump’s lies
I could hardly believe my eyes when I read the letter “Harris telling lies” (Oct. 14, TribLive). Seriously? Does the writer ever listen to Donald Trump’s rallies? All the “lies” he attributes to Harris I believe are in fact true. The champion of lies and more lies is Trump. If...
Letter to the editor: Jesus said one thing, Trump says another
Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Trump says you have to treat them like (excrement). Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Trump said, “Fight, fight, fight.” Jesus said, “If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other...
Letter to the editor: Trump will protect religious liberty
The writer of the letter “Trump wouldn’t meet John Adams’ Christian criteria” (Oct. 15, TribLive) seems a bit confused about some things, and I hope I can help. Christians know that we are not electing a pastor or a pope or even a spiritual guide. We are electing a president,...
Letter to the editor: Trump, the worst president ever
Jan. 6, 2021, is a day we will not forget. A violent mob stormed our nation’s Capitol with the intent of insurrection. Law enforcement officers were beaten and injured, with five losing their lives in the days and months after the attack. The mob did this for the man in...
